Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• The Centrality of Pain Scale

  The Centrality of Pain Scale will be used to assess pain perception. It is a 10-item survey in which each item is rated on a 5-point Likert type (1: strongly disagree, 2: disagree, 3: neither agree nor disagree, 4: agree, 5: strongly agree). Items 2, 4, and 9 are reverse scored. The total score is the sum of all item scores. Higher scores reflect more "centralized" pain. The maximum score is 50, and the minimum score is 10. Turkish version, validity, and reliability study was conducted.

  up to 3 months

• Discomfort Intolerance Scale

  Tolerance to physical discomfort and pain will be evaluated with the Discomfort Intolerance Scale. The scale consists of 7-point Likert type questions and the answer options vary between 0 (not at all suitable for me) and 6 (completely suitable for me). A Turkish version, validity and reliability study is available.

  up to 3 months

• Spine Functional Index

  The Spine Functional Index is a scale of 25 questions developed to examine the impact of spine-related symptoms on functionality. Each question is scored as 0, 0.5, 1. The total score is calculated as a percentage, and a score approaching 100% indicates normal spinal functions. Turkish version, validity, and reliability were tested.

  up to 3 months

• Fonseca Anamnestic Index

  The presence and severity of temporomandibular disorder in individuals will be evaluated with the Fonseca Anamnestic Index. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index consists of 10 questions. The participant is asked to answer each question as 'Yes' (10 points), 'No' (0 points), and 'Sometimes' (5 points). The questionnaire score is scored for all questions, and temporomandibular disorder severity is classified according to the total score: no temporomandibular disorder (0-15 points), mild temporomandibular disorder (20-40 points), moderate temporomandibular disorder (45-65 points), severe temporomandibular disorder (45-65 points). 70-100). The Turkish version, validity, and reliability were tested.
